Grid briefing

Joey Logano leads the NASCAR Cup Series at World Wide Technology Raceway starting lineup

How the front row was set

Joey Logano and Kyle Larson occupy row one in the latest available starting order. The table below preserves the listed start-position order, car number and manufacturer supplied for the event.

What track position means at World Wide Technology Raceway

Gateway is a 1.25-mile oval with different-radius corners, requiring a setup compromise and heavy Turn 1 braking.

NASCAR Cup Series at World Wide Technology Raceway grid watch

Cup teams must balance stage points with the setup and track position needed for the final run. Watch Turn 1, the difference between ends and clean air gained on pit road. The 2026 Chase has no eliminations, but every point carries to the finale after the one-time reseed. For this event, the season role is Cup Chase race 2 of 10.

Starting-order facts checked against ESPN Core. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
